Hajimari Art Center
Hajimari Art Center (Inawashiro, Fukushima Prefecture) opened in 2014 in a renovated sake brewery—the roughly 140-year-old Juhachikengura Brewery. Founded as a place where anyone can gather, it cherishes “the power of human expression” and “the richness born of human connection.” Its curators—Okabe Kaneyoshi, Kobayashi Tatsuya, and Omasa Ai—present themed exhibitions alongside a range of projects and events. The center is operated by Asaka Aiikuen, a social welfare corporation. It authored and edited the book Hajimari Art Center: A Social Welfare Corporation Exploring Community and Art (Sayusha, 2025).
